1 / -0.33

Which of the options that follow will replace the question mark (?) in the series given below?

(?) IJH NOM STR XYW

A
ABZ

B
DEB

C
EDC

D
DEC

Solution

All the three-letter words are coded in such a manner that the third letter is the first in alphabetical order followed by the first and second letters (as in HIJ, RST and so on). Only option D satisfies this criterion (CDE).

Hence, the correct option is (d).
Question 2
1 / -0.33

A company published an advertisement seeking applications from teachers for online tutoring assignments. The teachers needed to be experts in any one of the subjects: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or English. They also needed to be computer and internet savvy.

Which of the following assumptions is implicit in the given information?

A
The computer industry is growing at a very fast pace.

B
It is possible to be a teacher, as well as an online tutor.

C
Some teachers of Biology can also become online tutors.

D
The company has received the maximum number of applications for Mathematics.

Solution

B is the only assumption that is implicit in the given information. The other options are either beyond the scope of the argument or irrelevant.

Hence, the correct option is (b).
Question 3
1 / -0.33

The Chairman, Hamid Ansari, tried to restore order in the House and called for the first listed question of the day but BJP members were unrelenting. He then adjourned the House till noon. What can be inferred from the above argument?

A
BJP members like creating nuisance.

B
No one cares what the chairman wants.

C
Questions that are asked in the House are listed.

D
The Chairman has the authority to adjourn the House.

Solution

D is the only option that can definitely be inferred from the given statements. The other options are either beyond the scope of the argument or irrelevant.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
Question 4
1 / -0.33

Vikas took part in the discus throw event at the Olympics. After the first 3 throws, Vikas analysed the leader board. He realised that the athlete from Cyprus was ranked 5 places below him and the athlete from Tunisia was ranked 3 places above him. The athlete from Cyprus is actually 18th from the top and the Tunisian is 17th from the bottom. How many athletes took part in the competition if all the names are on the leader board?

A
23

B
25

C
35

D
37

Solution

As the athlete who is 5 places below him is at 18th from the top, so his position must be 13th from top and the athlete who is 3 places above him is 17th from bottom. So, he must be 14th from bottom. Hence, there are 12 above him and 13 below to him and so there must be a total 12+13+1 = 26. None of given options is correct.

Hence, the correct option is (b).
Question 5
1 / -0.33

The more you practice, the more proficient you will become.

Which of the following strengthens the above statement?

A
She takes after her dad - she is as good in badminton as he is.

B
However much he tries to solve the questions, he just does not seem to be getting the hang of it.

C
No amount of practice is helping - I seem to be committing the same mistake over and over again.

D
Rajesh takes less than a minute to solve algebraic equations - he loves algebra and can be seen solving the practice questions for hours.

Solution

E gives an example of a person who has become proficient at something by regular practice. Thus, E strengthens the argument. None of the other options bring out this connection between practice and excellence.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
Question 6
1 / -0.33

Directions: Use the following diagram to answer the given question. The overlapped area suggests the product of the numbers of each figure in the diagram.

The value of which of the following is the minimum?

A
a

B
b

C
c

D
e

Solution

= 6 x 4= 24

b = 4 x 2 = 8

c = 6 x 4 x 2 = 48

d = 6 x 2 = 12

e = 4

Thus, e is the minimum and is the correct answer.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
Question 7
1 / -0.33

A multi-speciality clinic was situated in the centre of a small town X, next to a leading software development company. The clinic was attending to and treating numerous patients and was earning a good profit. The software development company, which employed more than 10,000 people was abruptly shut down due to some litigation issues. After a year, the multi-speciality clinic also started running into losses and ultimately closed down. The HOD stated that the reason for the losses was the closure of the software company.

Which of the following can be concluded from the passage above?

A
All the doctors of the multi-speciality clinic left the town once the software company closed down.

B
After the closure of the software company, the multi-speciality clinic was the only big employer in the town.

C
The people in the town, even if unemployed, continued to be treated at the multi-speciality clinic and were also paying for the treatment.

D
The chief reason for the closure of the multi-speciality clinic was the unemployment of the majority of the population in the town as they were not able to afford expensive treatments.

Solution

Logically, the only connection between the clinic closing down and the software company closing down has to be the fact that the employees of the software company were the regular clientele of the clinic. When the software company shut down, this clientele was lost and so the clinic also had to shut down eventually. E conveys this reasoning and should be the correct answer.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
Question 8
1 / -0.33

If 'WEDDING' is coded as 32 16 30, 'BELONGS' is coded as 19 225 40, then how is 'STRANGE' coded in the same code language?

A
47 16 26

B
39 19 24

C
57 1 26

D
57 1 24

Solution

The code is such that, A, B, C…Z are represented by numbers. 1, 2, 3…26.

The code has 3 numbers - first number is obtained by adding number of first 3 letters, and third term is obtained by adding numbers of last 3 letters and second term is obtained by squaring the number of middle letters.

Hence, the correct option is (c).
Question 9
1 / -0.33

Which number should replace the question mark?

A
16

B
17

C
51

D
61

Solution

The number in the inner circle is obtained by taking the difference between the two numbers on each side in the outer circle. Also, if this difference is greater than 10, then the order of the digits are reversed.

For example, the difference between 37 and 24 on top of the outer circle is 13, so the number on top in the inner circle is 31 (digits get reversed).

Using the same logic, the required number = 31 - 15 = 16

Since 16 > 10, the digits gets reversed, giving 61 as the answer.

Hence, the correct option is (d).
Question 10
1 / -0.33

Directions: Given alongside is a statement followed by a few suggested courses of action. For the given situation, select the best course of action that follows.

Statement:

There is quiet unrest among people today - it will be no surprise if this simmering discontent turns into some kind of violent protest.

Courses of Action:

I. The government needs to be sharp and realise the mood of its people - it should take steps to address the existing pain points and not allow anything to snowball.

II. The government should carry on with its work as usual - unrest in people is obvious when things become difficult.

III. The government needs to focus on the economy - everything else will fall into place.

A
Only I should be pursued.

B
Only II should be pursued.

C
Only III should be pursued.

D
Both II and III should be pursued.

Solution

Option I is the only one that makes sense because if the issue of public discontent is ignored, it could turn into a major crisis situation for the government.

Hence, the correct option is (a).
